Morulem
There were approximately 1064 families. They were living at the site in six
distinct clusters.
Turkana District.
Two villages reportedly the hardest-hit
by 2005-2006 drought.
Sampling stage 1: The six clusters were given numbers 1-6. Two of the
numbers were picked at random: numbers 2 and 5.
Sampling stage 2: All the households in clusters 2 and 5 which had fallen
into the sample were listed as they appeared in the registers held at the
Turkana Rehabilitation Project office. Once the sample frame was ready,
respondents were selected for the study (using a paper and basket
method). I began by assigning numbers to all the households on the
sample frame. The numbers were then written onto separate pieces of
paper and folded. All the folded papers were thereafter put in a basket that
was later shaken thoroughly. Numbers were then drawn from the basket,
one after another, until the sample size was reached. A random sample of
45 households was picked at Morulem.
